"Hey Socks!" he called to me as I walked past him toward the locker room door.
"Hi!" I said, and continued into the locker room. As the door closed behind me I heard his client ask "you call her that?"
I dropped my back in a locker, and headed back out. "Socks," he called out to me once I was out of the locker room, "how many pairs of sock like that do you own?" He waved toward today's socks, with paper airplanes all over them.
"Well, I've been wearing a different pair every day since the start of the year. It's over 100 now, and I still have a bunch to go."
"See!" he said to his client.
He's not the only one who calls me "Socks" at the gym, either. It's fun having a nick name.

Things my trainer and I talked about:
-South Park. I don't watch it. This makes him sad.
-Human Centipede. He watched it. I've only seen the 45 minute verbal recap via Tosh.
-Having a Tosh.0 watching party.
-Creepy clown movies.
-Trampolines make me have to poop.
Workout:
3x
15 hamstring curls
15 leg extensions
3x
15 (per side) step ups with knee raises
15 (per side) angled lunges
And then we boxed.
We started out with the normal stuff, where he'd give me a set of movements, and I'd repeat them. Then things got crazy. He assigned a number to jabs and crosses for each arm, and would just call out numbers, sometimes slightly faster than my brain could process them. This led to a pretty good ab workout, too, since sometimes I would be laughing too hard from messing up to properly throw any more punches.
I love doing boxing stuff. It's fun and slightly silly (because I'M slightly silly), and it feels like an excellent workout.
I was wearing the right top for sweat marks, too. SCORE!

Today is a busy day. I need to clear out the guest room. My brother and SIL are moving in with us for a week before they leave the country (6 months of travel while working. Best vacation ever!). We're having lunch with one friend, and dinner with another (Happy birthday April!). Busy, busy day.
But, it's okay, since I fit in three runs and two training sessions this week. Guilt free weekend! Score!

What are your plans for today?
Do you have nicknames when you go places?
Human Centipede. I will NEVER watch it, but I've read several hilarious reviews and seen some screenshots. I love disgusting things, but I just don't think I could handle that one.
ReplyDeleteHuman centipede just looks like an excuse to make me hurl so I'm calling a nay on it.
ReplyDeleteAnd girrrlll, I couldn't check out your sweatpatch cause your guns were in the way-those babies are awesome :)
I've been to an 83rd birthday party today. Your blog makes me want to workout Rose, I need to go and get my sweat on RIGHT NOW!
ReplyDeleteWe trawled garden centres for raised-bed box kits at a reasonable price and then slaved in the garden getting the last of the grass out the selected patch, put boxes together and get sand into them. Not finished so more of the same tomorrow :-)
ReplyDeleteI saw the picture on the back of The Human Centipede DVD and that grossed me out to the point of no return. Apparently the actors had special rubber grips on their underwear so they could bite down to hold on more comfortably. Ick.
ReplyDeleteI totally tried to show off my wicked huge sweatpatch to my husband after my run this morning and he told me I was gross. I was mad and told him you post pictures on your blog and he told me running bloggers are weird. Boys.
I'm repurposing one of my over the knee sock pairs from Target and thought of you. I ripped a hold in one of them during the adventure race, so now I'm going to cut the feet off and wear them as super cool arm warmers.
ReplyDeleteMy day was spent carbing up and hanging out with my brother. Best. day. ever. :)
Me and my trainer talk about Family Guy a lot. I don't watch it. It makes him sad (and frustrated that I don't understand his jokes!).
